[...] is a company we have posted some rumors about, but they are not one of the major players for Android and we were not expecting a handset [...]

I had the Kyocera 7135 PalmOS phone for almost 5 years before it started dying. It was a great phone. I really wish they hadn’t dumped Palm. I also wish someone would come out with a clamshell Android phone. It’s so much more convenient and you don’t have to deal with buying cases or worry about scratching the screen.

Anyway – I’m really wanting to know more about the Cox wireless, but no one seems to have any info – including the guys at the local (Irvine – which is supposed to be one of the first test markets) Cox solutions store.

my mom works for cox and she is up there with the head people she says it will be the first 4g for phones it so my thought is it might come out before sprints 4g phones

Cox is going to be using Kyocera cell phones. The phones are decades behind the iphone, HTC, and LG and designed by what looks to be third graders. Cox has no chance to grow as a leader in the wireless industry with phones that are used as throw away pay as you go like boost mobile uses.

Great news for Cox.. I doubt that this phone is LTE, since Cox is just planning to deploy their own 3G network in addition to the their Sprint MVNO.

This might be a chance for Kyocera to reenter the smartphone space. Hopefully they dont **** up on the performance and user experience.

I’ve only had experience with one model from Kyocera, but it was not good. I’m thrilled to see Android being selected for implementation on low-dough (or free) handsets, I just hope Kyocera doesn’t give Android a black eye.

My first thought is yay for cox, my second thought is boo for kyocera.

Did they say what version of the OS was running on the phone they tested? What versions was the app written for?
